Mineral Springs and Their Uses.

The waters of many mineral springs
possess decided medicinal virtues and are
capable of doing great good in cases to
which they are adapted. Some of them
are not properly medicinal at all, but the
encouragement to take large amounts of
fluid into the system, given visitors who
have been impressed with their alleged
magical power over disease, causes even
these to be beneficial. But vast numbers
annually resort to such watering places
and subject themselves TO discomfort and
expense in whose cases the waters do no
good, and, it may be, positive harm. This
is especially true of springs situated at
great attitudes, and those where bathing
enters into the medical treatment, and
forms most important part thereof.
1t may easily be seen how the ''medi-
cine habit is made to extend itself to
this class Of remedial agents. In health,
and when the expense of a residence at
such places is not burden, 1.-THE springs"
of almost any variety, provided the SAM
tary conditions are not too bad, are calcu-
lated to do much good. The tired bust
ness man and the lady jaded by society
duties and pleasures there find much
needed relaxation. The artificial COM
pounds to be found in every city are
nearly as efficient as health restorers, but
they should not be taken without discrim-
ination or without definite object.

The London Dog PeddIer.

There is no more familiar sight in out
door London than the dog peddler. Per-
haps ii is because we are fond Of English
fashions that he has got to be so common
here. Broadway, Fifth avenue and Four

populous in the way OF bargains. II is
hardly safe 10 invest in this street stock, If

New Kind of Insurance Needed.

Identification of dead bodies. That of the

agree to insure Identification. This could
be done by marks on the body or the
clothing. Sometimes things are attended
to by others when we are too careless to
attend to them ourselves. The mark
need not be a name; number would do,

This fight between Jem Smith, the English
champion, and Jake Kilrain which took
place on December s20th+in France, on an
island in the Seine, has been the all absorb
ing topic OF compensation in the sporting
world for weeks, and the result Of the con-
test gives kilrain IL standing that he had
never had before. Although Jog rounds
were fought and tho fighting the gamest
that has been witnessed betwecn heavy
weights for decades, the contest was de-
clarcd Il draw although it is generally con
ceded that Kilrain had the best of it.
Richard X. Fox, Kilrain's hacker, says
that the men must meet again and fight to
II finish or ne will claim the champion belt
the stakes for his man. Sullivan has
challenged both kilrain and Smith to fight
and lively times may be looked form sport
ing circles. kilrain is n Baltimorean and
it was in hat city in June 1887 on the
stage OF the Monumental Tbeater that he
was presented with the belt that made him
champion of America. A challenge had
been sent to Sullivan but that redoubtable
~pugi!ist refused to acceptit as being beneath
hi notice. The hackers of kilrain there
fore pronounced him champion, and as
Smith would not come to America sent
their man to England to train and to fight.
The stakes were $4,000 or SIS, 900 a side.
Kilraln is a splendid specimen Of physical
manhood and although not the Hercules
that Smith is is more compact than the
latter. His right name is John Joseph
kiliion. and he was born in Gresnport,
Columbia County, N. Y, on January g.,
In early life he was employed in a
mill near Boston where he first de-
velop,d his athletic qualities. He O
reno"n in several contests and was for a
time a successful competitor in rowing
matches. Since 1883 he has confined him
self to the ring and has won many battles
with good men. He stands 5 feet 1Oh

The greatest musical event. not OF this

the morning mass at the Catholic Church

perfect chorus can be got together in any

general opinion of Miss Schonarth's singing
is that it was grand, and that she stands
mt the head OF all soprano singers in Mon

good advantage in her solo, obligato, in
'Et Incarnatus Est" in the Crcdo. Mrs.
Leavitt's solo in "Agnus Del" was ex-
cellently rendered in exquisitely clear and
expressive notes. The duet by Miss Scho-
narth and Mrs. Leavitt was very fine.
